Panasonic Lumix DMC FX150 Digital Camera

FX150 features a 1/1.72-inch CCD with ultra-high, 14.7-megapixel resolution. It ushers in a new world of photographic quality by capturing high-resolution, distortion-free images with the 28mm wide-angle LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens, and sending that rich image information to its large, ultra-high-pixel CCD.

The DMC-FX150 features the f/2.8 LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens. Advanced optical technology accurately delivers the light received by this 28mm wide-angle lens to the large 1/1.72-inch CCD with 14.7-megapixel resolution. The lens unit, which comprises seven elements in six groups, including an EA lens and four lenses with five aspherical surfaces, is designed and manufactured to LEICA's stringent standards.

The iA (Intelligent Auto) mode includes MEGA O.I.S. to detect hand-shake, Intelligent ISO Control to detect subject movement, Face Detection to detect faces in the frame, Intelligent Scene Selector to detect scene conditions, Light Detection to detect the brightness level and - new to the DMC-FX150 - AF Tracking to continually track a moving subject and keep it in focus. These six functions work automatically and simultaneously in iA Mode to optimize your settings.

The DMC-FX150 has a Simple Manual mode to allow users to change aperture and shutter-speed setting for taking specific shots. The joystick can be easily operated by the thumb while holding the camera to prevent any interruption to your shooting rhythm.
